We arrived in Doha right on time, got off the plane then had to sort our accommodation for the 20 hours we were there, a hotel had been booked but through Qatar Airways so we didn’t know which hotel, we were soon sorted and on a shuttle bus to the Concorde hotel, it was a little tired but comfortable and the staff were excellent, we had to ask for more towels as there was only one and then the kettle didn’t work, all sorted out easily, we had a shower, some breakfast and a well deserved sleep. The rest of the time there was uneventful and we were back at the airport before we knew it for our massive 14 hour next leg.
So now to the big news of the day, I received an email from the lady at the gender reassignment board to say that my case had been heard on Monday and that I had been successful! I am now officially female! I can’t tell you how it feels, it’s like the first big step on the paperwork side and it’s massive! I am now officially Ms Robin Ullyott for the time being, it means that we can lodge the name change the day after we arrive back in Australia and the new passport as soon as the name change thing comes back to us. We will make that golden wedding yet!!!
